Louise Loon Carves a Goose – and Goes Viral!

In this video, shared by Cree Radio CBC, (now with over 7,000 views), Louise Loon from the east coast of James Bay demonstrates – with narration in her Eyou dialect of Cree – how to carve a roast goose.

Many northern Cree people celebrate the return of the geese at this time of year with a week long hunt. In the days before commercial food, we can only imagine the joy of the return of fresh meat after a long, hard winter.

I wonder if Art Napoleon knows any northern kohkoms who could give us a demonstration in one of the Western dialects!
